Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, the daughter of former Delta State governor, James Ibori has described her defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the best decision of her political career.

The representative of the Ethiope Federal Constituency at the National Assembly accused the opposition PDP of attempting to stifle her political aspirations.

In a statement, she expressed gratitude to supporters of the APC leaders for their encouragement.

“We will bury PDP in Ologbo River, the bridge between Delta and Edo states. I am already at home – APC is supreme.

“The people in PDP wanted to kill my political aspirations, but thank God, I have finally left,” she said.

The immediate past Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege described Ibori-Suenu as a political bulldozer.

He opined that her presence in the party would assist the party in securing Delta State in the 2027 presidential elections.

“With Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu’s support, the APC is better positioned to take over Delta.

“Her energy and dedication will greatly strengthen our chances,” Omo-Agege said.
